Whole fresh eggs taste like fish.

[GaryB1263]

Is there anywhere I can buy eggs from corn fed chickens. Has anyone else noticed this problem?

[tifino]

 

are you really sure that they simply haven't gone off?

 

are they fresh from far?

from local market?

 

or from modern supermarket?

 

non-refrigerated or from local markets wouldn't last that long in the heat,

and you don't know just how long the market has them sitting there...

If chickens get alot of seafood scrap (fish scraps or seafood leftovers) then the eggs will taste like the ocean.

being used to having free range off a farm back home,it really scares me seeing eggs stacked to the rafters outside on the road in this heat,also eggs on supermarket shelve's,have had a few bad one's that were well in date.

but dont we all love eggs.

Better to have your own chickens (if you live in the right environment) so you know what the birds eat and how fresh the eggs are. Nothing better than a nice fresh egg or 2  from the henhouse.

I will try buying eggs at a supermarket. I have been buying in a 7/11 style store. Thanks to everyone. 

 

Seeing eggs unrefridgerated in Thailand startled me also. 

 

Does anyone have a favorite brand???

 

i will have a look around Teusday when I get in town.

having tried many,i will only eat TESCO fresh eggs,10 pr.box,the label on top SEE THE GREEN CHICKEN, i find the yolks are a nice

orange colour.a bit dearer than the run of the mill eggs but i get on well with them.

I haven;t bought eggs in a grocery store since I permanently left Samui in 2003!  I buy fresh duck eggs from the lady that raises ducks in my village and sells the eggs commercially.

 

Always fresh!

Egg shells are porous. Is the lady selling the eggs in the market set up next to the lady selling fish?

 

A strong odour of fish will penetrate the egg shell.

Could have been fed a commercial feed that's fish based. As for eggs in the West that are refrigerated.  They need to be. As the protective barrier is washed off. In country's that don't refrigerate, they still have the natural protective barrier. They say either way is pretty much the same. Unless you leave a washed egg out.

agreed.  I have had many eggs in thailand that didn't quite taste proper.  Storing and dating of the egg cartons is highly suspect.  The concept of rotating stock in some of the restaurants I have toured seemed to be very haphazard

Eggs taste like fish...? Break out the tartar sauce!

[Kenny202]

I know what you mean. We buy our eggs from the small corner Tesco Lotus now. 30 packs medium size. Always great and super fresh. Look like small eggs but huge yolks. Even big c eggs we found were <deleted>. More often than not the yolks would break when you broke the eggs and the whites were thin and ran everywhere. Always seemed like older eggs. Small Tesco lotus the go

This used to be a problem in the UK dues to fish meal being fed to chickens. However I have not had this problem in Thailand where eggs seem better than England. Eggs should not be refigerated surely?
